Focus: Psalms 40:8 - KJV
8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
2 Corinthians 3:3-11
The will of God is entrenched in His word unto mankind and it can be put into some form of capsule for human comprehension. It is simply that men should dwell together in love with a view to overcoming the enemy that is waging war against man over the control and dominion on the earth. This will is found in the compendium of His words set out in the form of instructions and stories to guide the behavior of men, called the Bible. However, understanding the spirit of the Bible is key to getting the instruction of God that dovetails into love. There is the section that is mistaken for the will of God which tends to death, but there is another which is more glorious that instructs life. The Lord had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet to say, His will would be inscribed on the hearts of men at some point, as against what was inscribed on stones and scrolls. Hence, by the coming of the Lord Jesus, those who believe have received a heart transplant, kind of, that gets the will of God in the form of His instructions transcribed in their hearts so that they may adhere therein forever so as not to offend God, but do His will, only.
The early Church was raised to do the will of God. They had received instruction from the Lord as to what to do. He had told them that there is no greater love than a friend laying down his life for his friends. To fulfil such love, which is the first leg in the will of God, He told them to go into all the world and make disciples of men. Hence, despite the threat of persecution, killing, imprisonment, tribulation and all, they went out with boldness because of the love they had for all of us, their neighbors, to preach to us the Gospel with a view to wresting us out of the bondage of sin. That which they did has been imbibed by many others after them. If those who received from their love would in turn continue the cycle of love, then will the earth be filled with many more believers with shared love and power to resist and overcome the devil as well as dwell in dominion, as intended by the Lord. But the enemy knows what the effect of this love would be and therefore, has sown lies into the hearts of many in replacement of the laws and the will of God so that rather than act on the love they received, they are really pouring out hatred and vile dispositions.
The Lord wants us to follow His instruction to preach the Gospel to all nations and make disciples of men, so as to expose the lies of the devil to mankind. As we were shown love by being preached to unto salvation, so are we to reach out and preach to others for a multiplier effect in the body. If those who preached to us had refused to come forth to do so, perhaps most of us would have remained in bondage and not have experienced the beauty in the grace of believing. When we all do our part, many will be joined to the group of lovers in the Lord, and together we will shine as light to expel darkness from the earth. That is the will of God for us to do. That is what we should take as a priority in our walk with God.
SOLUTION: Do your part in inviting many others unto the surgical table of the Lord for a heart transplant so that we may all dwell together in unity to combine against the forces of darkness. That is what the Lord wants us to carry in our hearts, that we may do His will. Love one another and battle against the devil for the soul of the earth.
Please pray:
Father, I thank you for the lives of those you commissioned to speak your word to me that brought me unto salvation. I want to reciprocate your love by taking your word of salvation to many others too. Please help me to achieve this as it is part of your will for my life, in Jesus’ name. In all that I do, let your word reflect so much in my life that people will read me like the word from now on. Do not allow the lie of the enemy to ever penetrate my heart to make me fall out of love, or doing your will, at any time, in Jesus’ name. Let the blessings that abound unto the doers of your will abound unto me from today even as you keep my heart pure, sanctified and full of your instruction only, in Jesus’ name.
